The Adjustment of Status requires the applicant to be in the U.S. on a valid visa, and the basis or petitioner to have U.S. citizenship.

The submittal fee for Adjustment of Status is $1,070 and the basic form is I-485.

thanks ray b.

the total payment of $1,070 is for everything, right? the AOS, working permit, advance parole, etc. is that right?

Right, $1,070 for the I-485 and supporting documents, including I-765 and I-131.

But there must also be an I-130 already submitted or being submitted at the same time (unless a k1 entrant), and that procedure's fee is $420.

please I also need assistance on this

I submitted my form i-130 and it was routed to kalaska center, but now I want to submit the form i-485, which address should I mail it to? Chicago address or kalaska center? Urgent respond is appreciated thanks Everyone...

[rayb]

Don't submit the I-485 until you have the hardcopy receipt from USCIS for the I-130 to include with your I-485 submittal.

Can you clarify what you mean by "Kalaska Center?" I don't recognize that as a destination for any submittals.

The I-485 will be submitted to the Chicago dropbox address.

Thank u very much for ur prompt and fast respond also for helping us thru this forum

I mean my form i-130 was routed from Chicago office to Nebraska service center for processing. My QUESTION is; should I also mail my form i-485 to Chicago for submission or to Nebraska where my application for i-130 is being processed??? Thanks for ur fast respond

[rayb]

You should have sent them together to Chicago. Now, you have to wait until you have the Receipt Notice of Action to include with the I-485, then mail it to Chicago:
USCIS
PO Box 805887
Chicago, IL 60680-412

thanks

I have the receipt already. That's why am asking if I should sent it along with the form i-485 to Chicago or to Nebraska's service center where my form i-130 is being processed??: Thanks for the urgent respond

[rayb]

I've answered the question very specifically already, but here is the answer again

If you have the I-797 Receipt Notice of Action for your I-130, submit that I-797 form with your I-485 to the Chicago address I gave you earlier, not to Nebraska.

I just did the same thing. Waited til my I-130 was approved then sent the I-485 to Chicago. Waiting for a reply.

[rayb]

There is no reason to wait for the I-130 to be approved before submitting the I-485. A copy of the I-130 receipt Notice of Action with the I-485 submittal is all one needs.

Yeah I know. Just couldn't afford the extra $1070 at the time.

[rayb]

Makes sense. These are big chunks of money, and staggering the payments make them more manageable.
